[Noob Time] Why FLash To CM 10.1 ?

Good Evening Dudes
I'm just introduced on this section and it's first time than i ve had a stuff like this awesome samsung
Smooth Fast Strong And God ! it's the beautifull customisable stock rom (it's really beautifull to compare with htc stock rom)
well the question is not here and the target also
i've never had the oppotunitities to try a CM 10.1 on any device Htc desire x hasnt official CM and not possible to port CM10.1 cauz Htc doesnt provide the kernel source.... damn
(it's was juste for put in situation)
What's the real interest -Gain can i expect with the CM10.1 on the Galaxy S4 ?
Whith this rom it's sound interesting to put a custom kernel also.
what can we do with cm 10.1 than we cannot with a stock rom ?
Yeah a know , i can make a backup on my stock rom , flash the cm 10.1 try and if doesnt like it restore to the backuped stock.
Thanks for your time
If you had any other suggestion better than the CM 10.1 (i know it s on nightlies sound like equal as alpha but
topic is open :s

Well the Stock ROM is pretty much as bloated as a whale. CM is only 200MB in size, so first of all it will save space on your internal memory. Second of all, you won't have a lot of processes running in the background like you do now, your phone will be a LOT more responsive. Ofcourse, as with any custom ROM, there will be some bugs and those ROMs will need testing and updates (that's why nightlies exist). But eventually there will be stable versions and imo, it'll beat the stock any day. On the other hand, the stock ROM has some functions like the IR blaster, the smart-pause, smart-scroll and hover function, etc. If you're a big fan of those things, stick with your Stock ROM. But if you would like to a clean, simple, bloat free and faster experience than you have now, a custom ROM is a great way to achieve it. But that's not the only thing ofcourse, CM also has some extra functions and customization options you won't find in your stock ROM, you can tweak your system quite a lot and there are some things I couldn't live without (for example swapping your menu key for your recent apps switcher, and putting the menu function on the long press ).

Thanks a lot
Sound really interesting
CM 10.1 it's more in touch with i'm looking for
The actual build of CM 10.1 can be used on a basic day usage ? or it's better to wait a few days ?
If i flash the cm now ? need also to flash another kernel or just flash the zip by philw touch recovery ?
can i come back to my stock backuped rom after if i want ? with the restore function of philz touch recovery ?

I'm using Philz Recovery too and yes you can flash CM10.1 from there (I have the latest build from June 12th on it). Before you flash, make your sure you wipe/factory reset your phone in Philz Recovery. You might also need to flash the CM10.1 rom 2 or 3 times (the second time it usually works), on the first try it always gives a Status 7 error (don't worry). Look at the thread for the Offical CM10.1 Nightlies, there's a lot information there!
It's working pretty good for me, I haven't found any major bugs so far. Just make sure you make a Nandroid backup in Philz Recovery first (and store it your external SD card for safety and to save space ofcourse ). You can always return to that backup through the restore function in Philz Recovery yes.
Also, if you update your CM10.1 with a new nightly build (for example next week, or next month), do it manually and flash it in the recovery each time. Updating it from the Settings->About->Cyanogenmod Updates menu bricked my phone today, so I guess there is still a bug there. Besides that, there are no issues what so ever according to me.

last question before the first try
With the original Cm we need to flash gapps separately or it's inside the rom ?
If external suppose to take the last release on goo

If I remember correctly you need to flash it separately

[Q] Lollipop - Don't accept sweets from strangers

OK, so I have installed AOSP Lollipop from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-aosp-build-t2929544
I was wondering if anyone is currently working on a custom build without so much Google inside. I would normally use CyanogenMod but they still don't have even a nightly build of Lollipop that I can find so I am limited to AOSP at the moment. I did try SimpleAOSP but that was from one extreme to another - I wasn't able to install any apps at all due to issues with libs.
It would be nice to have a ROM like SimpleAOSP but with F-Droid installed so we can install other apps without having to flash the GApps zip.

MoKee OS Official 5.1.1 Nightlies

For anyone who doesn't know; MoKee Nightlies are available for Thea, if anyone wants to try. It's pretty good.
http://download.mokeedev.com/?device=thea

Their original dev (and unkwon) must create a post for more detailed information...! But thanks for the advice.

Obviously. They haven't yet! Just telling people it's there.

It's pretty good, but at the moment Bluetooth is not working, can't connect to my Android Wear, so back to CM12 but I'll keep trying =)

Were you using a nightly or release build? Bluetooth is working fine for me. I'm on the latest release build. Smooth and stable.

Yep it was nightly 2015-05-23 , later I'll try the new nightly and if that does not work, then I will try the release build. Cheers for the info =)

How good is it? Is it better than CM?

I prefer it to CM. The release builds are great. No issues for me.

I4ve been on this ROM for a day now and it works like a charm. Mokee is really great. No buigs or FC for now
EDIT : GPS works for You ? I can't get a fix.... Did a clean flash of Mokee but still no GPS Fix
EDIT #2 : OK now it works, just have o erase modemst1 and modemst2 with fastboot

Hi everyone,
I've been enjoying Mokee for a week, flashed nightlys every two days and just discovered that their OTA system just download the changes from the rom installed to the new build. I tried to DL it and flash but I've an endless bootanimation after.
Is it the same for you too? Thanks

I don't use OTA.
I heard that it broke ever, then they fixed. I'll link to him.

Try using the Release builds instead. More stable and OTAs are every week or so.

Yes but releases are odexed and xposed does not work with odexed roms

Ok, I don't ever use Xposed with custom roms. Just stock.

Caution ! The 28/06 nightly doesn't work !
I will go back to CM because the 29/06 crashes when I use a theme.
Great rom but I honestly can't see the advantage over CM. Ota would be a plus but it fails.
Back on CM with Cyandelta for incremental updates

Another update on Mokee on Thea :
- OTA works great but you must not remove /system apps and modify build.prop however the phone will bootloop.
- OTA doesn't work with Xposed as well, bootloop
- Release versions (odexed ROM) are really smooth and seem to be more battery friendly than nightly releases...
- The ROM is bugfree, I've been using Mokke for two weeks now and no reboot, no freeze, perfect experience

Same here, I'm really happy with Mokee (running release version), no bugs so far and smooth performance. However I tried as you did to download incremental update through Mokee Center and automatically flash through recovery (TWRP), but got endless boot animation, had to download full ROM and flash after wiping system/data/cache/dalvik.
Does anyone know if Mokee can be upgraded simply by flashing full ROM zip without wiping system and data?

Tried again updating through Mokee Center, this time downloading full ROM. Didn't get endless bootloop, but performance was really bad, moto g suddenly rebooted 2 times, very unstable. I decided to wipe all and reflash manually through TWRP. Working fine now... it seems that auto-update are not working very well. Anyone who didn't get those problems and successfully updated through Mokee Center?

I managed to have incremental updates working on release versions. You must not touch anything in /system (you can freeze apps however)
I've been updating like that for two releases and it works

Just a quick for OTA updates on nightly builds with Xposed.
Ota works if you uninstall xposed with the uninstaller zip before flashing OTA !

Need cyanogen 13 for op2

Hi guys, I've been looking for the final cm13 nightly release for the op2, but can't find it since get.cm no longer lists it, and every other site links to there. Since xposed still isn't working on cm 14.1, I need to revert back to cm13. Can someone please link me to the last nightly release?

Couldn't find any mirrors. Someone who got it will have to upload it. Use Exodus. It's smoother & more stable than CM 13.

Here you go, you will get all cm roms mirror available for OnePlus 2.

Samsung s5 G900F not booting after MIUI 7 install

Hi everybody,
I am new to the forum and new also to modifying android phones. I have a G900F and I wanted to try a few custom ROMs. I first installed Lineage 14.1 and everything went pretty smooth. After I wanted to try the official S5 MIUI7 v6.5.27 which I downloaded from the MIUI website. I wiped everything I could and installed the zip file with TWRP. There was no progress bar but it seemed to perform tasks. When finished, I rebooted but the phone is stuck on the Samsung logo without any progress. I tried many times and I always had the same issue. Could you please help me out with this? What can I do to fix the install issue? My phone is now working (installed the Super Lite by Vincom) but I would like to give MIUI a try. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Miui 7 is based on android lollipop so you gotta flash lollipop bootloader and modem in order to get it working.
I would like to suggest you MIUI 8 by blackbuga, you can find the thread on Galaxy s5 development (snapdragon).

Thanks! That was a quick reply!
I imagined that there was some issue of this kind. I was driven to v7 for its being an official release and stable. I saw that blackbuga's is beta and thought it was unstable. Well actually I wasn't relying on my skills, as I said I have been playing around with rom's for a week or so.
I'll give that a try
